The End Of The Doc Dump

This is the end of the document dump as a delaying tactic.

Folks over at DKos are worried that the Bushies have already gone through and removed all the really juicy stuff before dumping. But the thing is, if they really are vetting the stuff prior to dumping, they don’t have the warm bodies needed to get it done in a timely and effective manner.

This is where their lack of trust comes around to bite them in the ass: There aren’t that many Bushistas that would a) know what to leave out and b) could be trusted not to blab. (Can you imagine the Bush Junta farming out the vetting job to outsiders, no matter how ideologically friendly? Neither can I.)

By contrast, we don’t have the trust problem — and even overnight, as TPM Muckraker has shown, we can throw a LOT more bodies at picking apart the docs than they can muster trustworthy gunsels to sanitize them. And if they make mistakes in the sanitizing, we can capitalize on them.

Another thing: How pathetic does your situation have to be for you to do a document dump on a Monday?
